GoldBet Cookie Policy
This policy explains exactly which cookies GoldBet Casino uses on goldbet-pokies.com, what each category does, how long they last, and how you can manage or disable them at any time.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, whether you are logged in, or which pages you have viewed — making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or malware.
GoldBet Casino uses cookies and similar technologies (including local storage and session storage) on goldbet-pokies.com for four distinct purposes: keeping the site functional, remembering your preferences, understanding how the site is used, and delivering relevant promotional content. The legal basis and retention period for each category differ, and where consent is required, we collect it before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device.
When you first visit GoldBet Casino, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. You can change your choices at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in the site footer.
Cookie Categories Explained
| Category | Legal Basis | Examples | Purpose | Typical Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Legitimate interest / legal obligation — no consent required | Session authentication token, CSRF protection token, load balancer cookie, cookie consent preference record | Enable you to log in and stay logged in, protect your account from cross-site request forgery attacks, distribute traffic across servers, and remember your cookie consent choice | Session (deleted when browser closes) to 12 months for consent record |
| Functional | Consent | Language preference cookie, game lobby layout preference, recently played games list, responsible gambling tool settings cache | Remember your customisation choices so you do not have to re-enter them on every visit; store the display state of responsible gambling reminders between sessions | 30 days to 12 months |
| Analytics | Consent | Google Analytics (_ga, _gid), session recording tools (anonymised), page view counters, conversion funnel tracking | Understand which pages are most visited, how players navigate the site, where technical errors occur, and which features are most used — all in pseudonymised or aggregated form to improve site performance and user experience | Up to 13 months (_ga cookie); session-based for most session recordings |
| Marketing | Consent | Affiliate tracking cookie (records which referral partner directed you to our site), retargeting pixel (used to show GoldBet ads on third-party networks to previous visitors), email click tracking ID | Attribute registrations and deposits to the correct affiliate partner; serve relevant promotional advertising to users who have visited our site on third-party platforms; measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns | 30 days (affiliate cookie) to 90 days (retargeting) |
Strictly necessary cookies are placed automatically as they are required for the site to function. All other categories require your explicit consent, which you provide through our cookie consent banner. If you do not consent to a category, those cookies will not be set.
Third Party Cookies
Some cookies on goldbet-pokies.com are set by third-party organisations rather than by GoldBet Casino directly. These third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective organisations, which we link to below. GoldBet Casino does not have direct control over third-party cookies once consent has been given for them to be set.
- Google Analytics (Google LLC): Placed when analytics cookies are accepted. Google processes anonymised usage data on our behalf under a data processing agreement. Google's cookie policy is available at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
- Affiliate Tracking Networks: If you arrive at our site via an affiliate partner, a tracking cookie is set to attribute your registration and activity correctly. The specific affiliate network depends on the link you clicked and is subject to that network's own cookie policy.
- Payment Processors: When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal via providers such as Trustly, Skrill, or Neteller, those providers may set their own session cookies within iframes or redirect flows to manage the transaction. These cookies are strictly necessary for the payment to function and are set only during the transaction process.
- Retargeting Platforms: If marketing cookies are accepted, platforms such as Google Ads or similar advertising networks may set cookies to recognise your device when you visit other websites, enabling them to display GoldBet Casino advertisements relevant to your previous site activity.
You can opt out of third-party analytics tracking via Google's opt-out browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) and from interest-based advertising via your regional opt-out mechanism (e.g., youronlinechoices.eu for Europe, optout.aboutads.info for the US).
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to using our on-site Cookie Preferences tool, you can control, restrict, or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core site functionality such as login from working correctly. The following instructions apply to the most widely used browsers.
- Google Chrome: Click the three-dot menu (top right) > Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. Here you can block all cookies, allow cookies only from sites you visit, or block third-party cookies specifically.
- Mozilla Firefox: Click the three-line menu > Settings > Privacy and Security. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, choose Standard, Strict, or Custom. You can also manage individual site cookies under Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data.
- Apple Safari (macOS and iOS): On macOS, go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy and check Prevent cross-site tracking and Block all cookies as desired. On iOS, go to Settings > Safari > Privacy and Security.
- Microsoft Edge: Click the three-dot menu > Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data. Toggle Block third-party cookies or configure exceptions for specific sites.
- Opera: Click the Opera menu > Settings > Advanced > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Cookies and site data.
Clearing your browser's cookies will also remove your saved cookie consent preference for our site, meaning the consent banner will reappear on your next visit. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you will need to manage cookie preferences separately on each.
Consent Management
GoldBet Casino uses a consent management platform (CMP) to record and honour your cookie choices. When you visit the site for the first time, or after clearing your cookies, the CMP banner is displayed before any non-essential cookies are placed. Your choices are recorded in a strictly necessary consent-record cookie that lasts for 12 months, so you are not asked again on every visit.
You may update your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of any page on goldbet-pokies.com. The CMP allows you to toggle individual categories on or off, view the list of cookies in each category, and see the retention period for each cookie. Changes take effect immediately — enabling a previously rejected category will set those cookies on your next page load, while disabling a previously accepted category will delete the relevant cookies from your device.
Where applicable law requires it (for example, for users in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom), we do not set any analytics or marketing cookies before you have actively provided consent by clicking Accept or a specific category toggle. Pre-ticked boxes are not used. Consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous as required by applicable data protection and ePrivacy regulations.
Cookie Updates and Contact
This Cookie Policy is reviewed and updated whenever we make material changes to the cookies used on our site, introduce new third-party tools, or in response to changes in applicable law. The policy reflects the current state of cookie use on goldbet-pokies.com. We recommend revisiting this page periodically.
If you have questions about our use of cookies, or wish to raise a concern about how tracking technologies are used on our platform, please contact our data protection team via the email address listed in the Contact Us section of the site. For privacy-related matters connected to cookie data, you may also refer to our full Privacy Policy which explains in detail how personal data collected via cookies is processed, retained, and protected.
This site uses cookies in compliance with applicable ePrivacy and data protection legislation. By continuing to browse after accepting cookies, or by modifying your preferences via the Cookie Preferences tool, you acknowledge having read and understood this policy.
Frequently asked questions
Does GoldBet Casino use cookies that require my consent?

It depends on the category. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. The Google Analytics _ga cookie lasts up to 13 months. Affiliate tracking cookies last 30 days and retargeting cookies up to 90 days. Full details are in the cookie categories table.
